Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega

Bafcord Omega Doc - Decapre
Detailed Frame Data with USF4 Comparisons - Decapre

• Throw: slightly shorter range, new animation with much worse oki

• Movement Changes:
  • Forward Dash: 2f faster (18f > 16f), slightly shorter distance
  • Backdash: 1f faster (22f > 21f), much shorter distance

• Normal Move Changes: (Note: Omega Decapre has no proximity normals; some USF4 moves have been moved to command normals instead)
  • 5LP - (USF4 far.5LP) - input buffer bug allows links into 7f normals despite being +6 on hit
  • 5MP - (USF4 far.5MP) - 1f slower, but 3f better on hit/block (+2/-1)
  • 5HP - (USF4 far.5HP) - 1f faster, more damage/stun
  • 5LK - (USF4 cl.5LK) - 3f startup, 2f better on hit/block (+6/+3), but very short range
  • 5MK - (USF4 cl.5MK) - 1f slower (5f), 2f better on hit/block (-1/-4); now 2 hits, only 1st is cancellable
  • 5HK - (new animation) - decent AA, whiffs on crouchers at farther range, has juggle potential
    
    
  • 2LP - input buffer bug allows links into 7f normals despite being +6 on hit
  • 2MP - 2f slower (7f), good forward movement
  • 2HP - 1f faster (5f), hits twice, 1st hit cancellable; much worse frame advantage (-3/-7, was +5/0)
  • 2LK - 1f worse on hit/block (+1/-2)
  • 2MK - good forward movement, 1f worse on block (-3)
  • 2HK - more damage/stun
    
    
  • 4MP - (USF4 cl.5MP) - 1f better on hit/block (+7/+2), good AA and useful in confirms
  • 4MP > HK Target Combo - 8f worse on block (-17); now requires a jump cancel into whiffed instant Divekick to combo into AA Ultra 2
  • Target Combo 2 (far.5MP~HP) - removed in Omega
  • 4HP - (USF4 cl.5HP) -
  • 4HK - new backflip normal similar to Guy's Ninja Sickle; mostly used in meterless corner juggles
  • Fox Tail (3MK) - Overhead, no known changes from USF4
  • Steel Saber (3HK) - Slide command normal, great anti-fireball tool and can work in some juggle routes

• Special Move Changes:
  • Invisible Ray (236P) - invisible projectile that can only be seen by the dust cloud it leaves on the ground
    • LP/MP/HP versions travel at the same speed; can FADC for combo extensions, but won't combo from max range medium normals
    • EX version hits twice and knocks down; has enormous juggle potential and can juggle afterward in the corner
  • Psycho Sting (214P) - now a command motion, but no longer invincible; all versions are 15f safer on block (-13)
    • LP is 5f and hits once, MP is 9f and 2 hits, HP is 13f and 3 hits; LP also gives a free juggle state on hit, giving great corner juggles
    • EX version is much slower, only comboing from 4MP or the first hit of 2HP/4HP; launches opponent and can be jump cancelled for a free juggle on hit
  • Black Widow (623K) - fast, short range invincible DP; fairly low juggle potential on meterless versions
    • LK version can trade on its first active frame, 1 hit; MK is the most useful meterless reversal, 2 hits; HK is 4f slower than the others, 3 hits
    • EX version has more range and juggle potential; can FADC for safety
  • Hidden Creep / Teleport (236K) - Decapre becomes invincible after 15f; higher strengths teleport farther, can pass through opponent
    • EX version travels the farthest and is 1f strike/projectile invincible
  • Psycho Transaction (hold PPP) - Decapre hugs herself, draining her own HP in exchange for meter (Ultra meter also builds as a result of damage)
    • The longer it is held, the faster it drains; Decapre can KO herself if held at low health

• Super/Ultra Changes:
  • Super (236236+P) - new input, more damage, much less recovery making it safer on block/whiff; now breaks armor
  • Ultra 1 (236236+PPP) - 2f faster recovery; lack of hard knockdown makes it harder to set up, but motion input helps this somewhat
  • Ground Ultra 2 (236236+KKK) - 3f slower startup (10f), 1 less active frame which significantly reduces its range
    • Both versions of Ultra 2 received a devastating damage nerf (420 > 419)

• Moves with ending Frame Buffer:
  • 5LP, 5MP, 5LK, 2LP, 2MP, 4MP, 4MP~HK, 4HP, 4HK, j.2MP, j.2MK
  • EX Invisible Ray, LP/MP/HP Psycho Sting, Hidden Creep (Teleport), Focus Attack + Forward Dash

Useful Info

Reversals:

• Black Widow ( / 623+K) - Fast and invincible; MK version is the preferred meterless reversal (LK can trade, HK is 4f slower)
  • EX version can FADC for safety and has much greater horizontal range
• EX Hidden Creep ( / 236+KK) - strike/projectile invincible, can escape the corner; loses to throws
• Super ( / 236236+P) - strong reversal; sideswitch + pushback makes it difficult to punish if used at close range
• Ground Ultra 2 ( / 236236+KKK) - invincible, but startup is a little slow making it easily baited
• AA Ultra 2 ( / 214214+KKK) - Can often be used to escape, since it whiffs on grounded opponents

Anti-Airs:

• 4MP - great hitbox for close/mid range jumps
• 5HK - mid/far range, moves forward and can whiff under opponent if too close
• 5MK - farther ranges, trades frequently
• 2HP - farther ranges, should be timed late to avoid trading
• LP Psycho Sting ( / 214+P) - fast and reaches high, but not invincible
• Black Widow ( / 623+K) - invincible DP, not much horizontal range on meterless versions
• AA Ultra 2 ( / 214214+KKK) - mid/far range jumps, can whiff under opponent at closer range
• Air Throw - for close range/crossup jumps

Anti-Focus:

• 5MK / 4HP / close 2HP - multi-hit normals
• LP Psycho Sting ( / 214+P) - armor breaker, great for cancelling on reaction to a focus absorb
  • Other strengths also work, but are much slower and could get counterhit out of startup
• Super ( / 236236+P) - fast and invincible armor breaker
• Ground Ultra 2 ( / 236236+KKK) - armor breaker, can chase down most focus backdashes unless used from far away

Anti-Projectile:

• 3HK - slide low profiles on frame 6, has good range
• Invisible Ray ( / 236+P) - Decapre can keep up well in fireball wars; EX version has 2 hits
• Psycho Creep / Teleport ( / 236+K) - If used as a prediction, can go through projectiles
• Super ( / 236236+P) - fast and invincible, but loses damage at longer range
• Ground Ultra 2 ( / 236236+KKK) - works from around half screen; harder to use than the USF4 version

Juggles:

• 4HP 1st Hit - can be used in free-juggle situations to add damage with a special cancel
  • Example: Break Dive, 4HP (1 hit) xx LP Psycho Sting
• 4HK trade - frequent occurrence when used as an AA, can juggle into Black Widow
• EX Black Widow xx FADC, 4HK
